As much as I support Palestine, I am no longer comfortable with Macklemore since his actual antisemitic impersonation of a stereotypical jew.
Critical support and/or broken clock depending on which term you prefer. He can be an asshole that doesn't deserve your respect but that doesn't automatically invalidate his point about the genocide.
@raspberriesareyummy you say that him talking about ongoing genocide and the fascist Netanyahu and his KKK ministers makes you uncomfortable?
You lack basic reading comprehension:

This was a clear indication that Macklemore is not a good role model.
You had to dig up an article from 2014, one where he's literally apologizing, to pull out that antisemitism claim?
Yeah, rappers can be really stupid, doesn't change the current situation that he's recognized an ongoing genocide and using his prominence as a popular artists to bring attention to the issue, such as promoting the flotilla with aid on it's way to hundreds of thousands of starving children
"someone did something kinda dumb like a decade ago so everything they say and stand for is invalid forever"
@raspberriesareyummy
That's pretty shitty accusation typical of assholes who see antisemitism in everything.
Going through your profile shows you have 0 care for Palestine or the ongoing genocide and the only comment I found was this attack against him.
It's yet another typical spam poster from the shitty Lemmy server.
If that is the reason you question him, then it shows you are full of shit.
Idk this just seems like an issue for people who were looking for a reason to dislike him
Someone should've noticed beforehand that this disguise + thrift shop would come across poorly, but it genuinely seems like he just didn't put it together and didn't run it by anyone else who did
@raspberriesareyummy
I'm sure you don't call the pro genocide, pro IDF Zionist Seinfeld for antisemite for one distasteful episode in his crappy TV show
